could rely on and fall back to in times of trouble.

Liu Sanniang did not speak.
Madam Wei said softly, “Tell me, did he save you this time?”

Liu Sanniang nodded.
It was Chu Yan who lent her strength at the most critical moment.

Madam Wei smiled.
“Then, I’m relieved.”

Madam Wei looked at Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang was afraid of Chu Yan probably because Chu Yan was too tall.
When he did not smile, he looked a little intimidating.
However, there were not many good men like him.
If Liu Sanniang was unwilling to marry him, she would force her into the bridal sedan chair.

Liu Sanniang couldn’t help but hear her mother’s thoughts.

She was speechless.

Since she couldn’t avoid it, she would give it a try.
At least Chu Yan was different from the others.
It would be better if he could be gentler with her.
After all, she liked gentle men.

Madam Wei left in relief.
Liu Sanniang picked up the needle and thread and started embroidering.

When Chu Yan returned home, he was stopped by Madam Li.

“You’re back.
Come and sit down.
We can start eating.”

Madam Li smiled and asked Chu Yan how he had been doing.
She didn’t mind Chu Yan giving her a cold face.

Chu Yan glanced at Madam Li and saw a few unfamiliar faces coming out of the house.

Matchmaker Zhao smiled.
“Chu Yan, you’re back.
Come and take a look.
This is Jiang Xiaohua.
She is a very hard-working girl.”

Matchmaker Zhao pulled a thin woman out from behind her.
The woman’s skin was dark and she was carefully sizing up Chu Yan.
When she saw Chu Yan’s gaze, she was shocked and immediately hid behind Matchmaker Zhao.
She pulled the matchmaker’s sleeve and begged.

Madam Li smiled.
“Chu Yan, you’re not young anymore.
I’ll make the decision on your marriage for you.”

Chu Yan’s eyes were cold.
“I don’t need you to interfere in my matters.”

Madam Li was a little frightened by his cold gaze, but she still forced a smile.
“Why are you so stubborn? If you can’t find a wife, people might think I’m not doing a good job as a mother.
I’m doing this for your own good.”

Chu Yan looked at Madam Li.
“Have you been to Jiangping Temple?”

Madam Li’s pupils constricted and her body trembled slightly.
She immediately panicked and stuttered.
“Chu, Chu…”

Madam Li wanted to ask Chu Yan as to how he knew, but when she saw Chu Yan leave without looking back, she could not say a word.

She seemed to have lost her soul.
How did Chu Yan know? Even Mr.
Chu didn’t know about it.

When Chu Yan mentioned Jiangping temple, she was instantly scared to death.

“Madam Li, what’s wrong? Are you alright?”

Matchmaker Zhao walked to Madam Li’s side and looked at her with interest.
Chu Yan had only mentioned the name of a small temple.
Was there any need to be so scared?

Madam Li’s face was a little pale.
She tried her best to maintain her composure.
“I’m sorry, it seems like my stepson doesn’t want me to interfere in his matters.
Let’s forget about it.”

Matchmaker Zhao looked at Jiang Xiaohua, who also seemed to ve afraid, and thought for a moment.
“Alright, forget it.”

In any case, even if Chu Yan agreed, Jiang Xiaohua probably wouldn’t want to marry such a terrifying man.
What was more, at a glance, one could tell the two of them weren’t compatible.

Matchmaker Zhao cleared her throat.
“Sister Li, though it didn’t work, I spent a lot of time on it.”
